i have used digi001 and mac systems for a couple of years now. they are real stable and the audio (convertors aside) is very pristine. better than the 24mix systems for audio quality. the software is very intuitive (to me) and more logical than many others that i've tried... i also have the portable MOTU system ( and 828 and a g4 laptop...) and it has it's strong points but is not as logical or powerful as the protools set-up. having said that, i do think that the digidesign people are pretty snobby (not the tech folks, but the powers at the top) and i get the opposite feeling from motu.. they are very low to the ground and open to suggestions... my .02.. peace ric hordinski monkmusic.com On Thursday, April 11, 2002, at 12:42 PM, Richard Zvonar wrote: > At 8:27 AM -0700 4/11/02, Evan Meyers wrote: > >> does anyone use the digi001? > > I use a Digi 001 in a PowerMac G4/500.
